i do not understand why everyone is always saying "don't have sex" all i hear from teachers now is "sex will ruin your life, it hurts you, its horrible, don't do it, you'll regret it, yada yada yada" um, you wouldn't be here if it weren't for your parents having sex. teachers shouldn't say this. it is actually a great thing if you do it at the right time. i think they should tell us the disadvantages of having sex when you are young, not just in general NOT HAVING SEX. is there a reason why people tell us this?
armyofgummibears answered Friday June 2 2006, 12:18 pm: There is a reason why you are being told this. Many teenagers do not understand that sex can be a destructive thing--it can spread STDs, and it can caused pregnancy at a very bad time in your life. Your teachers don't mean that sex will ruin your life in the future---they are talking about NOW. [ armyofgummibears's advice column | Ask armyofgummibears A Question ]
Nallie answered Thursday June 1 2006, 7:55 pm: You know, I think you are getting the wrong message. I doubt that many educated people will say "sex is horrible"..this is just the way it presented. The truth is, that for teenagers the bad things about sex often outweigh the good, and perhaps the adults in your life are using scare tactics as a prevention. Usually though, when you tell a teen not to do something for whatever reason, they are even more tempted.
Yes, with the right person, and at the right time..taking all things into consideration such as birth control, stds, the emotional connection and so on, sex can be a beautiful enjoyable experience. Adults are telling you the dangers, and considering the potential for complications you should be aware of the negatives. Look at it like a balancing act with side effects.

co0o0kieCRISP answered Thursday June 1 2006, 11:13 am: i agree that they should tell that disadvantages of having sex when your young but people may think they are older and ready for it when they really arent, so just dont do it and you wont have anything to worry about.

Tulipg17 answered Thursday June 1 2006, 9:19 am: Of course there is a reason. Have you seen how many questions are posted on here by knocked up 16 years olds? Now wait until you're in your 20's and you look around you. Half the people you meet had kids when they were very young and at that point their life is a joke. You don't think about that when you're in high school. When you're 25 and you have a 7 years old, how many guys/girls are going to be asking you out? How often are you going to be going out with your friends? How's that mimimun wage job going, because you didn't have money/time for college or to follow your dreams? Not to mention the STD or two you might have picked up. Let me tell you, sex is the coolest thing to do as a teen, it's like your life is focused on it. Just wait a fews years and you'll understand exactly where those annoying adults are coming from. I didn't even get into the emotional aspects of it all. By all means, have a good time. Please use protection though, EVERY time. And I don't mean pulling out either. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
kevin1986 answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 11:24 pm: Yes. Because sex is a very VERY powerful thing. You could create another human being by what you are doing. So you better do it with someone you truly care about and when you're 16, most people aren't in love. Sorry, but they're not. Sex is great, but you said it yourself, "if you do it at the right time" and a lot of the time, people don't. Plus warts on my dick are not on my Christmas list. You don't know who the other person has slept with, or if they have anything, or what, and it can complicate things. Guys:it's no big deal. It felt good, I got off. Girls: It's the next step in our relationship, he must love me. See my point? [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]
jealousyxo answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 10:22 pm: Well i pretty much agree with the first person.They dont want you to tell your parents that they influenced you to have sex with someone even though it was your choice if you wanted too or not.I agree with you though on it.I mean sex is a beautiful thing and it shouldnt be something that people should say you shouldnt do and thats its bad for you.If your personally ready and mature enough for sex then i think you should go for it no matter what age you are.They should just tell us the disvantages like you said about sex and the conceqences (sp) not dont do it or youll get pregnant! come on thats not entirely true i mean theres a chance you can get pregnant but its not deffinate that you will become pregnant.Although its good that they tell us not to do it because then we'd have everyone having sex and alot of pregnant girls if they told us to do it.But again,they dont want angry parents saying why did you tell my child that sex is okay? and thats not what ive taught them! expecially the very religious parents because sex is a major issue in their cultures.So who knows maybe one day thinks will change.Try bringing your idea of showing the disadvantages to a teacher or maybe a principal.Hope i could answer your question hun!
x_woah_me answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 9:58 pm: I totally agree. I think it's stupid how all they tell is that stuff.
I don't understand why they don't teach it in a more real way. So what, they can tell us not to have it all they want, but someone out there is going to have it, and while there in there teaching that load of bull, someone could be getting a STD; all because the teacher couldn't teach about condoms and birth control, and stuff like that.
They tell you that to try to scare you, to try to scare you into NOT having it, when we all think its bologna.
karenR answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 9:19 pm: I agree it should be taught a little more realistically. The public has something to do with it I'm sure.
A kid goes home and tells mom that a teacher says sex is beautiful if two people love each other, and next thing you know, they are accused of promoting sex. People are strange.
